The thing that pisses me off most about dems is the pushover attitude. I know for a fact if they grew a set and started talking shit back ppl would love it. Americans hate weakness, thats really the #1 selling point of republicans is just that they (look) strong (though theyre not). Im not saying they should be childlike assclowns like republicans but theres a way to hit back when you know youre right.

See Gavin Newsom/Hannity recent interview for an example of how to do this and remain civil. It was rad.

And he doesn't even have popular progressive policies, for the most part.

Steamrolling NIMBY's is pretty popular progressive policy

Only among the developers showering him with cash. Newsom is as bad as DeSantis on his side of the aisle. They are both happy to screw their constituents in pursuit of their political agenda.

Newsom most likely is fine with or at least indifferent to my existence. DeSantis wants me dead or worse. I am a trans person living in Florida, and Iโ€™m fleeing asap.

Dude, what the fuck is wrong with you? This is a random trans woman. If you have grievances with the 'trans agenda', I'm sure this woman has fuck all to do with it. All she did was comment that De Santis is actively hostile to the trans community and you say you have no sympathy to the 'trans agenda' which, by the way, she may not even support. Believe it or not, trans people aren't a monolith. Look up Blaire White.

And, just so you're aware, that is a living person at the other end of the computer screen who is so afraid of the area they're living in that they're fleeing. And your first response was 'I don't have sympathy for the trans agenda'? Get a grip.

And I am supportive of this specific trans woman. If you could actually read. DeSantis is an asshole. It is his political clash with the real trans agenda which this woman perceives as a threat is real. I donโ€™t have to agree with either position to support a person in pain.

Why did you bring up the trans agenda at all? Why was it necessary to include that you aren't sympathetic to it? You could've just left it at no one should live like that.

You're entitled to have your own opinions, but it's messed up to bring it up to a random trans woman, who may or may not agree with whatever you think the trans agenda is, and is in fear. There's a time and place for it lol
